The Fresh-water Algse of Maine.- 11 * 



By F. L. Harvf.v. 



Observations were continued the past season upon the Fresh- 

 water Alg^e of Maine, and below are given the species identified 

 during the summer and fall of 1888. which were not mentioned in 

 the Bulletin for June of that year. 



The species recorded for 1887 were from gatherings ncarOrono, 

 but the past season we have had material from Augusta and 

 Moosehead Lake, collected by Dr. A. G. Young of the State 

 -ooard of Health, and from Guagus Stream, fortv miles north east 

 trom Orono, collected by the writer, besides some rich gatherings 

 from near home. 



Quite a number of genera not found last year were discovered, 

 out the interesting find of the season is a new species of Nodu /aria 

 in fresh water. 



We notice in the BULLETIN, Dec, 1S88, p. 224, that Wm. 

 West has published in Jour. Bot. xxvi. 339-340, a list of Maine 

 Alg^ found in a gathering sent him from Orono, Me., by my as- 

 sociate, Prof Aubert. We have not seen this contribution, but 

 having examined a part of the gathering made by Mr. L. H. Merrill 

 which was sent abroad, and as our notes were made months be- 



I 



tore Mr. West's article appeared, we publish independently, feeling 

 ^ure that in such an uncertain quantity as microscopic material 

 some different species must have been observed. 



The locality from which Mr. West's material came was ex- 



Coniiuued from Vol. XV, p. i6l (June, 1888)
